Colin Simmons of Texas did a piss taunt after sacking the Tennessee QB and caught a penalty for it. The slo-mo angle is incredible

This -- and only this -- is why Madame Web didn't make billions at the box office. The characters were too well-rounded and realistic.
There’s nothing wrong with escapist wish-fulfillment entertainment where protagonists are never wrong or vulnerable, but if that’s ALL you engage in then when you encounter a fully rounded character with realistic flaws and limitations you tell everyone on GoodReads they’re an asshole and an idiot.
These are not fully formed ideas but what I am sensing is a toxic combination of:

- So few people reading quality fiction where you have to put yourself in someone else's shoes & actually pay attention, rather than reading passively. This results in lacking basic reading skills.

excellent music writing here
I don't have a personal account on here so I made sure to build one nu metal moment into this article I wrote about the three millenials currently ruining pop music and what might be done about it: holidaykirk.substack.com/p/the-imperi...

Something I learned early about my fandoms (tabletop, anime) is that some people are only there because they've been driven out of every other social group. They don't even like the thing, it's just that if they try to join another ska band they'll be killed.
"Fandoms used to be full of nice ppl before covid and then all the bullies and popular kids joined" is literally an "the earth is flat" tier false belief to me

This whole exercise is ridiculous. The only commonality between these media is that they were produced for TV screens and aired as episodes.

A list that compares nature documentaries and kids' animation and reality TV and limited series and network sitcoms (etc, etc) is a fucking stupid list.

Costco has these bowls of instant pho and I accidentally taught my kids they're called "pho cups."

I love that this is just the Pope's default facial expression when he's in over his head in a social situation.

Getting an itchy "first week of March 2020" feeling, so I cleared a couple of shelves off in the basement and stocked up on some non-perishable staples at Aldi today. Doing a Costco run tomorrow for some light prepping.
